The gap between how you play in practice and how you perform in competition is not a technique problem. It is a mental one. Darts Skool is a structured performance environment built around the mental side of the game — evidence-based, data-tracked, and designed to close that gap.
“So much of sport is that mental attitude.”
Phil Taylor · 16× World Darts Champion
Every coaching session, every report, every task — built around these six pillars.
The Player Type Quiz is not just something to take out of curiosity — it is a performance tool. By identifying how you naturally think, compete, and respond under pressure, Stuart can tailor your coaching to fit who you actually are as a player, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Once you know your type, you understand your strengths, your patterns under pressure, and exactly where your coaching focus needs to be. Every Player Plus report references your type. The analytical picture makes more sense when you know the player behind it.
Take the Quiz — It’s FreeYou receive a primary type and a secondary — showing how your two dominant types interact under pressure.
Start with the Skool community. Add the data layer when you’re ready. Go deeper with 1:1 coaching if that’s the level you want.
Already inside Skool? Player Plus is the upgrade — monthly reports, post-match reports, season tracking, and direct coaching feedback from Stuart.
The scoreboard tracks wins and losses. The AAI tracks what is actually happening underneath — attitude, attention, intention — month by month, match by match. That is what makes the coaching land.
Three foundation reports build the baseline for everything that follows. The Player Type Quiz identifies how you naturally play. The Baseline Report captures where you are right now. The Goal Setting Report locks in where you want to be.
Together they generate your original AAI score and your first set of coaching tasks — built specifically from your answers, not a template. Every monthly report after that updates the picture and adjusts the focus.

| Stage | Result | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Win | 3–1 | Highest opening-round average of the season |
| Round 2 | Win | 3–2 | Dropped legs 3 & 4, recovered clean |
| Quarter-Final | Win | 3–2 | Strong finish under pressure, no carry-over |
| Semi-Final | Win | 4–3 | 141 checkout at 3-3 to reach final |
| Final | Loss | 4–5 | Led 3–1, lost four legs in a row |
The 84.2 average across five matches is the headline stat — but the more significant data point is that the average did not drop from match one to match five. Most players at this level see a 3–5 point decline across a full-day tournament as fatigue accumulates. Yours held. That is a focus management and endurance result, not just a darts result. The coaching work on pre-visit routine is showing in the consistency of the scoring output.
The 42% checkout rate is above your rolling baseline and above the event average for the level you competed at. The stat that matters most inside that number is the ratio of first-dart doubles hit to first-dart doubles missed. Your coaching record now tracks this as a separate metric going forward — the checkout percentage tells you the result; the first-dart double rate tells you where the margin lives.
Five matches, first Open Final, a 141 checkout in a deciding semi-final leg under maximum pressure. The Intention task has passed its hardest test of the season. The pre-visit routine is no longer something you choose to do — it runs automatically even when the match demands everything you have. That is the training goal for the past four months, confirmed on the scoreboard.
The final loss is data, not failure. You have now experienced the specific conditions that break your attention: a comfortable lead with the win visible. You hadn’t experienced it before because you had not been in a position to. Now you have. Now we know the trigger, the moment, and the internal pattern that needs the next layer of work. A routine win from 3-1 up in that final would have given us nothing to build on.
